jack your car up, take off the wheel depending on how big your arm is, and go in from the fender liner. kinda tricky. lol

Both the LEDs for the running lights and the turn signals are still amber when on. It was actually easier to do that I thought. I did the running lights the other day, without removing the wheels, but to get to the turn signal you really need to take the wheel of for clearance. It tells you how in the owners manual, but real simple, once the wheel is off, pop off the once plastic clip that holds the fender liner in, then pull it back to expose everything. The plastic is not very thick so it bends out of the way quite easily. Can get to the fog bulbs very easy this way also.

wheres the pics? Can't wait to see it! Did you add a resistor to the turn signals or are you hyperflashing?

No hyper flashing, the turn signals are not LEDs, regular bulbs, they just have a coating that makes them chrome when not lit, and amber when lit. The running lights are the only LEDs. I am debating LEDs for the turns though, but for now these are good.

Nice, I have some stealth bulbs on order for the rear. How hard is it to change the front bulbs?

Not hard at all, its in the owners manual. Though to get to the turn signal bulbs do yourself a favor and take the wheel off, makes life a lot easier.

Looks good, I went with LEDs in the running lighta, and changed them to blue instead of the stock amber color.

These are the stealth bulbs I used for the turn signals

7440 7443 Silver Chrome Red Super White Amber Vision - eBay (item 5730458362 end time Jun-18-08 08:23:49 PDT)

The LEDs I have I got at Autozone years ago, its size 194, and it has 4 LEDs in the bulb. I've also gotten leds from superbrightleds.com in the past.

superbrightleds.com and autolumination.com I recommend, if you're going to be ordering online. I've had nothing but good service from them in the past.
